+## 📂 Load Helper Functions
+
+If you would like to use the `route()` helper function to generate localized URLs, you will need to load the helpers file before Laravel's helpers are loaded.
+You do this by requiring our `helpers.php` in your `public/index.php` file, right before composer's `autoload.php` is loaded:
+
+```php
+require __DIR__.'/../vendor/codezero/laravel-localized-routes/src/helpers.php'; //=> add this line
+require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';
+```
+
+If you don't load the helpers file, you can always generate localized routes using `URL::route()` with Laravel's URL facade.
+
 ## 🧩 Add Middleware to Update App Locale
 
 By default, the app locale will always be what you configured in `config/app.php`.

+### ➡ Manually Load `route()` Helper
+
+If you would like to continue to use the `route()` helper function to generate localized URLs, you will need to load the helpers file before Laravel's helpers are loaded.
+
+This used to be handled automatically by a composer plugin, but this caused an issue for some people.
+Once we find a better way to automate this, we will implement it.
